The Devastating Knysna Fires
Picture Credit: SApeople
As most of you are aware, there are currently massive fires raging across Knysna and Plettenberg Bay at the moment and are causing a huge amount of damage. These wild fires have decimated houses, nature and heartbreakingly some of the establishment listed with us. This has caused utter chaos along the Garden Route and more than 10 000 people have been evacuated.

It has been reported by The Citizen News outlet that 5 people have already lost their lives due to this catastrophe, and that 30 fires are still raging across the town.

Glamping Accommodation in South Africa
It can’t be denied, camping under the stars or in a makeshift tent on the hard ground is somewhat of a romanticized idea, where the reality tends to fall short.
